New Colour - Black

We had a short period for brainstorming session on black. Then we did a worksheet on black according to the nursery rhyme - Baa, Baa, Black Sheep. The children needed to fill in the the word "black" in the blanks of the nursery rhymes.

Then the children colour the sheep in black so that they understand the link of the colour and its name.

I also prepared a quarter of the drawing paper for each child. Then I demonstrated by using varieties of crayons colours to colour on the drawing paper. Then on top of the colourful colours, I painted it with black crayons. The black crayons must covered all the colourful colours. Then I used the long toothpicks to draw pictures on it. The children were amazed to know that colours will appear from the black crayons layer.

With the demonstration done, the children quickly picked up those colourful crayons and started drawing on their drawing paper. After they had covered it with the black crayons, they were so eager to start off with their pictures.

Art Work - White Colouds In the Blue Sky (Part II)

Today, we shall continue with the art work we did half way yesterday. I prepared some white paint for the children to work on it as clouds. They could paint their blue colour sky with clouds by using their  hand. They could print with their fingers, or back of their palm.

Some of them painted their clouds pretty small while some of them painted their clouds pretty big. I told the children to try to paint the clouds on top of the paper and leave the other half of the paper empty. I wish to get the children to do some drawings to be pasted on the other half of the paper these 2 days.

Note: No photos for this activity as well. Sorry for any inconvenience.

White Colour

Today, we all sat down and had a brainstorming session about white colour items that the children could think of.

Teacher: Can you think of any thing that is naturally white in colour?
Thong Xuan: paper, rabbit, cloud
Huey Xin: whiteboard
Jayden: hair, dog, milk
Yi Fai: shell
Edmund: teeth

At the same time, I also put in some other things such as egg white, elephant tusk etc.

Song - Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece is white as snow.

I shared a Mandarin storybook that related to white clouds to the children. It's about dream and action. It's an encouraging story about a white sheep who wanted to seek for his dream by asking his friends - the farm animals to do it together with him.

From the pictures of the storybook, the children noticed about the white clouds and the white sheep.
They started to tell stories of theirs about white colour. Things that they saw or things that they know at home which is white in colour.

We shall do an activity this week about white colour.

New Colour - White

From the list of the colours that the children had voted earlier, the next colour would be white. The children were asked to look for things that is white in their class. They could also bring items that is white in colour to share with their friends next week. 

Game - Goose, Goose, Geese
By now, the children should be quite familiar with the names of colours, therefore, we carried out this game today. 

The children sat down in a small circle. Then I picked a child to go around touching their friend's head. By doing so, that child needed to say out a colour. Every round, I shall gave them a colour that the children needed to be aware of. Once they hear their friend mentioned about that colour, they have to stand up immediately and chase after that child. The one who is being chased needed to be fast enough to sit back at the empty seat. 

Colours that I picked were the colours that the children had learned. Most of them were quite alert of what their friends are saying while some are quite slow in reaction. However, the kids had fun. 

After the chase, the kids took some rest by lying on the floor. We call it a day.
